My acantophyllia deflated

[Demmy]

Hi all..
Is there any explanation why my donut suddenly shrinking?
Used to be inflated / deflated following light schedule.
In the last 3 weeks its been suddenly deflated at noon.

My parameter:
No3 : 2-5ppm
Po4 : 0.25 ppm
Kh 7.3
Mg 1350
Ca 390

Very fleshy lps deflate when expelling waste. Did anything come out of the mouth?

It didnt... im rarely feeding my donuts. Usually once every 2 weeks with roids & mysis. Since its been acting up, i didnt feed them

Your NO3 always been 2-5ppm? It's on the low side for some LPS.
And .25 PO4 is quit high.

How long have you had this one? Are those mushrooms by it?

1.5yrs, yup, discosoma, bounce and florida. Should I move the donuts further away? When its inflated, it didnt touch any of them.. its a small donut

It may have caught some food. Topic aside. I highly recommend you feed it. I have lost my first and learnt an expensive lesson

Once a week I feed them a chunky piece (mouth size) of either fish or shrimp.

You say suddenly deflated at noon for 3 weeks.
What happens around noon, light, dosing…..

Nothing happen. After work its always deflated.
I do dosing in the morning. Polyplab acid, genesis, and plus.
After work, I usually dose nyos active iodine / nyos active elements.
Thats about it.

I gave them roids 2 days ago, it seems fine for now.
